FurnitureShield UV Blocking Cellular Shades
Two Levels of UV Protection
-
UVShield 88 — Blocks 88% of UVA and UVB radiation, reducing fading by roughly 80% compared to unprotected windows. Ideal for most residential applications.
-
UVShield 99 — Blocks 99% of UV radiation, providing archival‑grade protection for antiques, artwork, heirloom textiles, and collectibles. Reduces fading by approximately 95%.
Both technologies are integrated directly into the fiber during extrusion and are guaranteed for the life of the shade.
Protect Everything Under the Sun
FurnitureShield shades help preserve:
-
Hardwood floors — Prevents photobleaching and color shift
-
Upholstery — Extends fabric life and prevents embrittlement
-
Leather — Protects against drying, cracking, and color loss
-
Artwork & photographs — Maintains pigment integrity and prevents paper yellowing
-
Carpets & rugs — Shields dyes from fading
Replacing a single sun‑damaged sofa can cost more than outfitting an entire home with FurnitureShield shades.
Insulation + UV Protection = Complete Performance
FurnitureShield combines archival‑grade UV filtration with the thermal and acoustic benefits of honeycomb construction. Each ¾‑inch or 1⅛‑inch cell traps still air, reducing heat transfer by up to 35% and dampening exterior noise. It is the only shade that simultaneously protects interiors from UV damage, lowers energy bills, and quiets your environment.
Clear View, Not Darkened Glass
Unlike UV‑blocking window films that introduce a visible tint, FurnitureShield fabrics are optically clear. The UV absorbers are colorless and do not alter the fabric’s appearance or the quality of your view. Your room stays bright and natural—the only difference is what doesn’t happen: your furnishings don’t fade.
Curated Color Palette
FurnitureShield shades are offered in 12 light‑neutral colors optimized for UV protection and view clarity:
Arctic White, Ivory, Cream, Oyster, Pearl, Sand, Light Grey, Greige, Sky Blue, Sage, Butter, Blush
Darker colors are intentionally excluded, as they would absorb more visible light and reduce the efficiency of the UV‑blocking technology.
Documentation for Insurance & Appraisals
Every FurnitureShield order includes a certificate of UV protection documenting the tested performance of the installed fabric. This documentation can be submitted to insurers and appraisers as proof of conservation measures. Many fine‑art and collectibles policies may offer reduced premiums when UV‑mitigation systems are in place.
